Interesting: Vitalik sold over 30 million dollars worth of ETH in January and February combined. That’s about 17,196 coins, which reduced his wealth by approximately 7 percent. His ETH holdings are now around 224,000 tokens. But here’s the kicker – the money isn’t going into private pockets but supporting the Ethereum Foundation during a phase that Vitalik himself describes as “mild austerity measures.”

This also shows his pattern again: The man systematically uses token sales for charitable purposes. A large sale of 16,384 ETH on January 30 was executed through various protocols, and in the end, 500,000 USDC went to Kanro – his biotech organization for open-source research. This isn’t the first time Vitalik’s wealth has been used this way. In 2021, he donated SHIB worth 1.2 billion dollars for COVID relief in India.

Does this make him the richest crypto founder? Hard to say with such sales. But his wealth isn’t just flowing into personal projects. It’s rather impressive when you look at it that way.
